Ẽ
Ẽ, ẽ is a letter in which the tilde indicates a nasal vowel. It is the 5th letter in the Guaraní alphabet and widely used in other Amerindian languages in Brazil, such as Kaingang. It is also found in Umbundu and perhaps in related Bantu languages. In IPA, /ẽ/ represents a nasal "e" sound.
In Vietnamese, it was used to represent an E with a ngã tone.

Ancient documents
In some ancient Italian documents, a tilde is used to indicate a missing m after a vowel. So, ẽ is used to abbreviate em, as in tẽpo instead of tempo[1]
